A Gigantic Scheme of Rail Alliances Across the Nation
A detailed report outlines how a coalition including Standard Oil and Jay Gould controls more than one fifth of US railway mileage. It describes a vast transcontinental network with through Baltimore and Ohio and Northern Pacific trains, extensive tie‑ins with Missouri Pacific and Richmond Terminal assets, and planned connections via Pittsburgh, Chicago, Buffalo, and New York. The piece cites 30,000 miles of rail and notes stock moves, key players, and the intertwining of oil, telegraph, and railroad interests shaping the era’s transportation map.
